I venture to say most people who were lucky enough to be merely inconvenienced by the Covid-19 Pandemic (i.e. didn’t become very sick/ had loved ones who perished/ didn’t become financially devastated/ managed to mostly maintain their mental health) were at the very least “bored out of their skull”.
The skull image on the inside is translucent vellum. I used a sewing machine to stitch into it. It lights up an eerie blue with the flick of a switch.
